It authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to regulate transport, sale, and handling of dogs, cats, nonhuman primates, guinea pigs, hamsters, and rabbits intended to be used in research or "for other purposes." It requires licensing and inspection of dog and cat dealers and humane handling at auction sales. The complete amended act can be found in United States Code, Title 7, Sections 2131-2156. [Full Text]

Welfare perpetuates poverty, undermines the work ethic, breaks up families, and promotes illegitimacy. The Maryland State Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) even argues that welfare "is a major contributory factor to the crime problems we face today." Unlike private efforts that stress character-building, one-on-one mentoring and a spiritual dimension, the impersonal public dole does nothing to resolve the behavioral poverty that keeps millions in demoralizing dependency.
